Identifying Sites Bound by Epstein-Barr Virus Nuclear Antigen 1 (EBNA1) in the Human Genome: Defining a Position-Weighted Matrix To Predict Sites Bound by EBNA1 in Viral Genomes

Abstract excerpt

We identified binding sites for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) in the human genome using chromatin immunoprecipitation and microarrays. The sequences for these newly identified sites were used to generate a position-weighted matrix (PWM) for EBNA1's DNA-binding sites. This PWM helped identify additional DNA-binding sites for EBNA1 in the genomes of EBV, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus,...
